Merritt joined the Giants as a part of incoming head coach Tom Coughlin’s staff nearly fifteen years ago. In the meantime, he has won a pair of Super Bowls with the Giants and coached some of the league’s best defensive backs, from Jason Sehorn and Corey Webster to Antrel Rolle and Kenny Phillips, to Janoris Jenkins and Landon Collins.
